PROGRAMMING

5. The system alarm will beep once to indicate that the new
CLOSED limit is learned and stored.
6. Confirm the newly programmed CLOSED limit by
pressing the remote and run the gate in the closing
direction. The gate should automatically stop at the
position in step 2 above. This limit is stored and remem-
bered even when all of the power sources are removed.
7. Skip the next section on “Push-To-Open” and go to
the “ADJUST THE FORCE SETTING” section on
page 56.
SET THE OPEN POSITION
LIMIT FOR A PUSH-TO-OPEN
INSTALLATION
1. Verify that the control box power switch is in the ON
position. Turn on if necessary.
2. Move the gate to the desired OPEN position using the
remote or the JOG CLOSE or JOG OPEN buttons on
the gate system control board. The JOG button on the
system control board (shown below) can move the gates
only if pressure is maintained, releasing the button will
stop the gate immediately. The JOG button can be used
as ‘fine’ adjustment of the OPEN limit.
3. Press and hold the 1st SET button until the alarm
sounds, then release the button. The unit is now in
LEARN LIMIT mode.
4. Press the remote to run the gate to the fully CLOSED
position.
5. The system alarm will beep once to indicate that the
new OPEN limit is learned and stored.
6. Confirm the newly programmed OPEN limit by pressing
the remote and run the gate in the opening direction.
The gate should automatically stop at the position set in
step 2. This limit is stored and remembered even when
all of the power sources are removed.
ADJUST THE FORCE SETTING
The FORCE SETTING potentiometer controls the
maximum amount of force that the operator will use to
safely move the gate.
NOTE
The FORCE Setting needs to be adjusted only
if your gate moves slower than normal. GHOST
CONTROLS
®
recommends for safety reasons that
you set this at the lowest possible setting. SafeForce
®
will not allow you to adjust this higher than the UL325
standard allows.
The FORCE SETTING potentiometer operates like a
volume dial on a radio. (shown below)
Turning the potentiometer in the clockwise direction
increases the maximum amount of force the gate opener
will use to safely move the gate. Turning the potentiometer
in the counterclockwise direction decreases the amount of
force the gate opener will use to safely move the gate.
NOTE
Maintaining your gate over various seasons of the year is
important because ambient temperature variations may
cause the force required to move your gate to increase
or decrease. Wind may also cause your gate to require
more force to open and is the reason that GHOST
CONTROLS® does not recommend solid gates to be
used with these operators.
